HOWDY! I make art on the web, sometimes it’s quite interesting - you can see a curated sample above. I like creatures, beasties, anthros and things - sometimes I do fanart too (pokemon, flight rising, more??)

you can find me elsewhere too, my username is chalkrub most everywhere, but tumblr is my secret favourite place so you’ll see more content here....

I’ll open comms periodically, keep your eyes peeled if interested!

if you like my work and fancy tossing me some pocket change so I can make interesting financial decisions, then I have a ko-fi right here

I now have a fun, relaxed doodle blog right here (@chalkscrub) which is where I post my wips, silly sketches, oc content and other exciting things

that’s it! thank you for checking me out, I appreciate it very very much <:^) muah

also i think i finally sorted my computer issues.......i think i'm FREE.........i can finally open comms! for real this time! before october. i'm hoping

in the meantime i'd like to do some art trades to get back in the swing of things! if anyone is interested... <:^) i'll prioritise mutuals and/or people i know and i'll probably ask on twitter too, so i can't take too many i'm sorry. but i'll do these more often now. maybe.

you can dm me or comment below or contact me in another mysterious way, whatever works

normal guy, you can trust 😁✌️

realised i never responded to this sorry! it's mostly just etching in black with a pencil-y textured brush, but i'll erase away sometimes too - it makes a different effect, idk i just mess around......my process is never set i wing it every time

autumnal chill....featuring the girl

helloooo thank you!! i think this has been in my inbox for ages sorry, but by all means - everyone's welcome to use my art for icons or whatever with credit :^)

auuuuu thank you...could cry 🥺 big compliment to me, I love making characters that feel grounded in some sort of context specific to them... i tend to imagine whole worlds for even my more minor characters not intended to have character/ story arcs - can’t have an oc without vague story/context, I quickly lose interest in designs without lore so everything you see has some sort of convoluted thought process behind it. even the sillies like wellyboot and HRL.

i want to do a zine with the earthly demons/fest kids at some point, that's on my list of thngs to do - lots of ideas buzzing in my head at the moment, it's killing me not to be able to do all of them.... anyway, i'm glad you like them!

saw some mangy dog on the outskirts of town

they have fursonas! <:^) though i do like the idea of furries existing alongside weird dinosaurs

here's some little portrait sketches. moose coltarch and badger mockley

still not completely sold on coltarch being a moose, might make him an adder. but mockley's a badger for sure, even though owl/squirrel/hare were tempting. i want them to all be cute fairytale woodland critters together, to match the fox/pheasant thing mika and heidi have going on....beatrix potter type animals just spiritually and mentally ripping each other to shreds. and also physically
